Have you ever been asked what your body count is? I know I have…I’ve also been guilty of asking others in the past too. It’s time we stop asking how many people someone has had sex with though…it’s an outdated and unhealthy measure of a person’s worth. Here are some of the harmful reasons peopleContinue reading “What’s Your Body Count?”

The Hard Truth
Despite the slowly shifting conversation around sexual pleasure, there’s still a strong focus on penetrative sex. I’m sure you’ve seen it in mainstream porn…a rock hard penis pounding away non-stop for what seems like hours. This has fed into the unhealthy expectation that penis owners will perform on demand and for as long as required.Continue reading “The Hard Truth”
Unsolicited Dick Pics
In the last week alone I’ve received unsolicited dick pics from three different men. What does unsolicited mean? It means I didn’t ask for the photos, I didn’t consent to receiving them and I definitely didn’t want them. With online dating app and social media popularity, ‘cyber-flashing’ has become a big problem. Anyone can beContinue reading “Unsolicited Dick Pics”
Ghosting
It may be the spooky season but ghosting is a year round phenomenon. If you’ve been online dating for a while, you’ve probably ghosted someone or been ghosted yourself. For those who don’t know, ghosting is when someone suddenly cuts all contact with you, minus an explanation. You could be mid conversation with a match,Continue reading “Ghosting”
Porn Isn’t Sex Education
If you’re reading this it’s likely you lacked a comprehensive sex education growing up. I got the standard ‘don’t have sex until you’re married/this is how a baby is made’ talk with absolutely no focus on pleasure, communication or learning how to enjoy sex. Without a proper roadmap to navigate your own sexuality, sex edContinue reading “Porn Isn’t Sex Education”
Safer Sex
Did you know that ‘safe’ sex doesn’t exist? All sex comes with a risk of pregnancy or contracting an STI. Trust me, I’m militant about safety and I still got an STI last year. Unless you are in a committed monogamous relationship, you have both tested negative for STIs and birth control is being usedContinue reading “Safer Sex”
Cougar Myths
I’ve been dating cubs long enough now to hear some wild misconceptions about cougars. I frequently get asked the same questions, so I thought I’d bust some cougar myths… ‘I thought finding a cougar would be easy’ We are a rare…the numbers are stacked against cubs looking for a cougar. Dating women in their twentiesContinue reading “Cougar Myths”
Cougar Hunting in The Wild
With life returning to normal, people are shifting their dating from the apps back to real life. If you’ve been cougar hunting online, now might be the time to try hunting them in the wild. You’ll need to be on the lookout and mix up your regular routine though…it’s unlikely you’ll meet the cougar ofContinue reading “Cougar Hunting in The Wild”
Say my Name
Babe, babes, gorgeous, beautiful, sexy, honey, darling…who slides into someone’s DMs using one of these? I know I’m guilty of it. I call guys ‘handsome’ or ‘mr’ on occasion…it’s a very easy habit to slip into… First impressions count and I’ll admit, if a guy opens with a ‘hey babe’ I immediately think ‘fuckboy’. NotContinue reading “Say my Name”
Hey
Why do people take such offence to receiving this as a first message when online dating? Possibly because it: • Feels impersonal • Puts the conversation burden on the receiver • Seems lazy and that you aren’t really interested 99% of the time, I start the chat after a match. Here are some of myContinue reading “Hey”
